Sm all Fruits on the Farm.
y 0 one so fully appreciates the value of
small fruits as the wife of a farmer, who
has a household to supply with food of suf
ficient variety to keep monotouy at bay
from the daily bill of fare, says Vick’s
Magazine. Variety is said to be the spice
of life, and certain it is that variety in daily
food lends zest to the appetite. With noth
ing but flour, potatoes and meat at band—
ami little else will be found in the majority
of farmers’ homes as a base of supply—it is
very often perplexing for the hou-ekeeper to
contrive such dishes as will contain the va
riety required. It is true that meat and
potatoes and flour may be prepared in va
rious ways, but they are meat and potatoes
and flour after all, and therefore not as
pleasing as a change would be to something
wholly different, no matter how nicely pre
pared. lam aware that some women seem
to think it unnecessary to “humor the men
folk” by catering to their desire for “some
thing new,” but such women are not good
housekeepers for they do not understand how
necessary it is to have a frequent change to
keep the appetite from becoming cloyed, and
they lose sight of, or ignore, the fact that
*uch change is necessary to the preservation
of good health. Physicians recognize this
important fact, and often advise entire
change of diet as a means of bringing back
a lost appetite.
With a garden well stocked with smal|
fruits, farmers’ families ought never to com.
plaiu of monotony in the bill of fare. Noth
ing is more he althful than fruits, and by the
easy and cheap process of c anning we can
have it the whole year through in such
delicacy and naturalness of flavor as to be
almost equal to fresh fruit. lam glad to
note that the old method of preserving is
going out of fashion.
On a small plot of ground enough fruit
can be grown, if proper care is given, to
supply a family of ordinary size three times
a day the year through. I am aware that
this statement may see m a rather broad one
but those who have a “little garden, well
tilled,” will bear me out in the assertion. It
is surprising to those who have had no ex
perience ia this line to find out how much
can be grown on a very small piece of
ground, if proper attention is given. It does
not require such an amount as one often
imagines it must, because the regular use of
it on the table has a tendency to prevent as
great indulgence in it as would naturally be
the cass were it used only as a delicacy
brought out on extra occasions. Used reg
ularly, it becomes a sort of appetizer, and
really acts as a tonic of the best kind. Its
pleasant acid ton es up the system and whets
the appetite for a keener appreciation of
more solid food. It is a direct aid to diges
tion, and those who eat of It regularly are
seldom troubled with those ailments which
call for pills and physic. The fruit eater is
seldom bilious.
Has the housekeeper strawberries in the
storeroom? Then there will be shortcake on
the table in winter, whose odor brings back
a breath of the vanished summer. Or a
saucer o£ them will add its delicate aroma
to the charms of the neatly spread tea-table,
as well as delight to the palate. And there
will be puddings and pies and other confec
tions which the good housekeeper takes
pride in preparing for the members of her
household. Are there currants? They
will add a keener relish to the breakfast.
Their grateful acidity will stimulate the
stomach to a better performance of its day’s
work. With meats they give a relish which
would be wholly lacking without something
of a similar character. Get in the habit of
eating spiced currants with roast, and you
would a3 soon think of having turkey with
out its accompainment of cranberries as of
going without them. Dried currants make
good pies, and are delicious when stewed,
and can be made to take the place of raisins
in cakes and puddings very satisfactorily.
Then there are raspberries, grapes, plums,
cherries and tomatoes, all easily grown, all
easily taken care of and all enjoyable.
With such a variety to draw from there need
he no complaint of sameness from day to
day, and the appetites and health of the
household will be improved.
By all means set out plenty of small fruit.
Have a row of currants, a bed of strawber
ries, raspberries along the fence, and grapes
wherever a support can be arranged for
them. If you ha ve never tried your hand
at small fruit culture, mako up your mind to
experiment in it, and the chances are, if you
take core of the “venture” with which you
start out, you will be so well pleased with
your success that in a year or two you will
“branch” until you have all the fruit your
family requires. It is just as easy to care
for a garden of this kind as it is to properly
cultivate a field of corn, but most farmers
have got the idea into their heads that it is
puttering work, and nothing will get this
idea out of their heads except a trial, which
will be sure to convince them that no other
part of the farm pays so well, all things con
sidered, as a good garden.
Keep Stock in Good Condition.
The profit of farming, says the American
Cultivator , depends more in these days upon
the kind and condition of farm stock than on
any other one factor. At the approach of
winter especially the condition of stock be
comes a matter of the greatest import
ance. It used to be common to let animals
run down In flesh at this season, not pur
posely, but because the farmer thought as
long as cattle and sheep could get a living on
frosted grass it would be a waste to take
them into the barn and feed grain. But it is
much more easy to retain fat and flesh upon
animals than it it is to regain either after a
period of starvation. During the running
down process there is a weakening of vitality
and especially of the digestive organs, until
at last even an abundance of the most nutri
tious food does the animal no good. Ani
mals past their prime, and whose vitality is
naturally small, suffer worst. We have
teen old sheep and even old cows get so poor
in the fall that the most tender care during
the winter could not save them until
spring.
These are extreme cases, of course, but it
is reasonable to suppose that any falling off
in condition must result in some loss. Not
that animals, especially those intended for
breeding, should be fattened. Fat is not
thrift. It is the hearty and in young animals
growing condition that should at all times
l*e fostered. There should always be an
abundance of nourishing food, enough to
Properly distend the stomach and give the
digestive organs abundant exercise. This is
especially necessary for animals bearing
Joung, and that for a reason not often con
sidered. The ability to feed well, important
as it is known to be, is largely hereditary.
We see this in all animals bred especially for
their fattening character is'.ice. Take the
most thoroughly bred shorthorn cow, her
self an excellent feeder, falling into the
hands of a careless, negligent farmer and
half starved during the time she
is bearing her calf, and what is the result?
Nine times out of ten she will bear a scrub,
inheriting not the thrifty characteristics of
either parent, but bearing through life the
condition imposed on it during its prenatal
existence by the starvation and suffering of
its dam.
We have been much impressed while visit
ing fairs this year with the fact that the ex
cellence of stock, no matter how thor
oughly it is bred, must after all mainly de
pend upon the care and skill given to the
caring for it. Men sometimes say that peo
ple usually make for themselves the condi
tions of life. If this is true anywhere it is
especially so in stock growing. A careful,
skillful and intelligent farmer will have
good stock, even though be do not indulge
in fancy and expensive strains of thorough
bred aud registered animals. What he has
will constantly and steadily improve in all
desirable qualities. Such a farmer is blind
to his own best interests, if in these days he
does not avail himself of the progress that
others have made, by purchasing, or at least
using, pedigreed animals. But in the olden
times, w hen pedigrees were unknown, the
difference in farm stock of the good farmer
and of the lazy and careless one was nearly
as marked as it is now. The good farmer’s
stock grows better, while the other as steadi
ly grows poorer.
Even for milk production, as is well
known to most farmers, a hearty, thrifty
condition is quite as important os it is for
the production of fat. No cow was ever a
gook milker, or of much value for dairy pur
poses, that was not a good feeder. We may
say the same of any animal bearing young.
The size, vigor and vitality of the unborn
animal are fixed by the conditions of its
dam while bearing it.
Testing Bolls by the Color of Plants.
M. Georges Ville, a French scientific agri
culturist, after almost thirty years of assid
uous researches on the experimental farm at
Vincennes, has made a remarkable and im
portant discovery of a relation existing be
tween the color of plants and tho richness
of soils in fertilizing agents. His conclu
sions, recently reported to the Paris
Academy of Sciences, deserve consideration
by all farmers and horticulturists.
He finds that the color of the leaves of
plants undergoes marked change whenever
the soil is lacking in phosphate, potash, lime
or nitrogen. The color remains light green
or turns to yellow when tho soil is deficient
in phosphate, potash or nitrogen. When
none of the fertilizing elements are wanting
the color is dark green.
By his experiments, M. Ville furnishes
agriculturists with positive indications by
which they can determine with the greatest
facility what kind of a fertilizer the soil
needs most or in what elements of fertility
it abounds. His experiments should bo re
peated by our department of agriculture
and the results published. The practical
information which might thus be supplied
to American farmers would enable many
of them to “make two blades of grass
grow where one now grows.”
Preparation and Care ot Cuttings.
It does not seem to be generally under
stood, says the American Agriculturist ,
that nearly all varieties of cuttings can be
easily callused or rooted before it is time to
plant them in the spring. The cuttings are
made in autumn, after the leaves fall, and
tied firmly in little bunches of 50 or 100
each. Each bundle should be marked by
using two slips of pine, painted one side with
white lead, or yellow ochre, and the name
distinctly written with a lead pencil in the
fresh paint. This is covered by th e other
slip, and the two are tied togother with a
piece of thread. This is firmly tied in the
bundle, and it will not be necessary to guess
at the came of the cuttings. They are
stored through the winter either by placing
on a bed of moist earth, butt end and own, or
in a trench two feet wide and four iuches
deeper than the h ight of the cuttings. The
cuttings are placed compactly in this trench,
butt end up, and covered with three or four
inches of rich garden soil. When the ground
begins to freeze they are covered deeply
with stable manure, straw, or leaves, put.
ting ou enough to keep the frost from the
cuttings. In the spring this manure is re
moved, and the soil over the cuttings lev
eled. If it gets dry it is sprinkled with
water and kept moist, but not wet, and
when the time comes to plant them, most
varieties will have good roots started, w hile
the buds are dormant, and when planted
they are more sure to grow tnan if not so
treated. The trench should be made on
groud where water does not stand. For
some of the choicer varieties of gr apes, or
other cuttings wanted early, a cold frame
placed over the trench in the spri ng, after
the manure is taken off, will forward them
several days.
Antiquity of the Reaper.
The invention of the reaper, -or more
properly speaking of a reaping machine, is
of unknown antiquity. The e Ider Pliny,
who was born when Christ was but 19 years
of age, and who in his mature years be
came a historian as well as a naturalist, de
scribes a re a per used in his day by the Low
land Gauls. This clumsy device, which
would hardly compare with a McCormick
of the year A. D. 1889, consisted of a wagon
or cart proyided with shafts, into which
one or two oxen were yoked with their
heads facing t he dashboard; that is, provi d
ing, of course , they u*-ed dashboards in
tho se days. To the hind part of the cart,
or to w hat would be the fore part, this curi
ous machine being run tail first, was at
tached a bar provided with sharp spikes set
at an angle which admitted of their coming
together at tho base a sho rt distance, say an
inch, from where they were driven into the
bar before mentioned. Each of these early
reapers was provided with two men, one to
drive and the other to rake in the heads of
the wheat as they were cut or pulled oft by
the sharp-toothed combing machine. A
machine, similar in all its details to the one
just described, was used in England up to
about the time of George 111.
In 1799 an Englishman by the name of
Boyce was awarded the first patent on a
reaping device.
The first American patent was taken out
in 1803, by the firm of French & Haw
kins. Then came the Ten Eyck and Cope
and Hooper patents, which were issued in
1825. ’
In 1828 a preacher by the name of Bell in
vented a rude reaper in Scotland, which
went the way of all the world without
practical results.
The first machines to command public
attention were those made on the plans

furnished by the Manning patent, which
was issued in 1831. Obed Hussey and C. H.
McCormick invented the first machines, in
1833 and 1834, respectively, which proved to
the world that the harvesting problem vras
forever solved.
Experiments in Feeding: Pigfs.
The object of same experiments made at
the Kentucky station was to determine the
relative value of shelled corn, commeal and
corncob meal for fattening purposes and
the length of time those feeds would pro
duce pork at a paying figure. In this trial
it was found that corn meal does not fatten
so well as shelled corn. Nitrogenous food
produced less flesh but a more hardy de
velopment than did non-nitrogenous foods.
The following is a brief summary of the
results:
1. Shelled corn produces fat more rapidly
than other feeds tested.
2. Corn produces fat at a cheaper rate
than other feeds tested.
3. Shelled corn produced pork at a profit
for sixty-three days. Cornmeal produced
pork at a profit for sixty-three days. Corn
cob meal produced pork at a profit for
fifty-four daj-s.
4. The Chester Whites fattened more
readily than the Thin Rinds on the samo
quality of food.
5. The nitrogenous foods produced so little
gain in live weight that it may be attributed
to growth and not to fattening.
6. Cotton-seed meal could not be fed
profitably.
7. Much corncob meal was wasted in
feeding, being picked over and refused.
8. The pigs fed on nitrogenous foods were
so much stronger than the others that they
caused them serious injury when turned out
to run together.
9. Of the nitrogenous foods tested, that of
corncob meal and ship stuff in equal parts
was the cheapest.
Give the Cows’ Horns a Chance.
Charles W. Devoe owns a large stock
farm in Connecticut, and he says there are
many farmers in the Nutmeg state who de
horn their entire herds.
“It is true,” said he, “that many human
lives have been lost at the point of the
horn, and the intervals between times when
men have been gored to death by vicious
bulls are comparatively short; but I must
say that this practice of dehorning spread
like a contagion all over tho country, and
many farmers dehorned not only their
vicious cattle, but all animals that had
horns. Even calves are subjected to such
barbarous treatment, and it was only a
short time ago that I saw an advertisment
of a chemical preparation which, it is said,
will prevent the horns from growing if the
stuff be applied to the tender structures.
The farmer’s object in dehorning his cattle
indiscriminately is simply to economize
stall space. He can have his cows run loose
iu the stable without any fear that they will
injure one another. Now, if we look at it
from a moral standpoint, we must admit
that the man who will dehorn
a poor cow and torture her to simply
satisfy his avarice or gratify his vanity
is committing a crime. A law should be
passed to stop the practice. In the next
legislature in Corfhecticut I intend having
something done in regard to this matter.”
Farm and Stock Notes.
It costs a good deal to keep lice, and they
are mighty unprofitable stock. See that
your animal.i are free from them.
When a limb is cut from a tree it should
be as close to the body as possible. The cut
should be a smooth one, without bruisng
the bark, and the cut surface should bo cov
ered with some kind of cheap paint mixed
in oil.
Six thousand ducks are annually market
ed from the farm of a prominent yet un
ostentatious farmer in Massachusetts, who
comprehends the idea of handli g his stock
in a way to yield him a return quick, with
little expense for their keeping.
Upward ventilation, or ventilation at the
top of the hive, is said to be abandoned by
the largest beekeepers, especially in outdoor
wintering. Plentv of bottom ventilation
for both outdoor and celler wintering is con
sidered sufficient.
It is a curious fact, so announced, that if
cider is scalded to 125 or 130 degrees, it will
not make vinegar, as this heat destroys the
hacterim that form vinegar. This same
temperaturo destroys the bacteria in the
silo, and this is perhaps the explanation why
it remains comparatively sweet.
An exchange insists that calves, colts and
all young animals should be treated so that
they will come to you as to a friend. If you
feel ugiy and must kick something, let it be a
log or a stone wall, or something that will
rot suffer. A few experiments iu this line
may cure you of the habit of feeling ugly.
One < f the very best places to keep sweet
potatoes during winter is a tight loft or
room over the kitchen, so constructed that
the heat from below can readily be utilized
in warming the ioft or upper room. The
two important things about keeping sweet
potatoes in winter are to keep them dry
and warm enough to prevent their freez
ing. . .
Popular Science.
A Swiss inventor has perfected a method
of making artificial boards, and is advocat
ing their use in building. They are made
of a mixture or plaster of paris and reeds
pressed into shape by hydraulic process.
The material has the advantage of incom
bustibility and lightness, and will resist
the warping action of atmospheric changes.
The belief that smoke from soft coal may
have beneficial sanitary effects is gaining
ground. It is claimed that the sulphur in the
coal when burned becomes sulphurous acid
gas, a well-known disinfectant. Further,
that creosote and its allied products are
thrown off with the fumes of bituminous
coal, and that an atmosphere charged with
carbolic acid must be freer from germs of
disease than an apparently purer air.

Great Relief
P instantly afforded sufferers from
Bronchitis, by the use of Ayer’s
Cherry Pectoral. Either as an ano

pectorant, to loosen and bring away the
mucus, this preparation has no equal.
“ Last winter I contracted a severe
cold, which, by repeated exposure, be
came quite obstinate. I was much
troubled with hoarseness and bronchial
irritation. After trying various medi
cines, without relief, I at last purchased
a bottle of Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. On
taking this medicine, my cough ceased
almost immediately, and I have been
well ever since.” Itev. Thomas B.
